Janice Hahn Beats Republican Opponent

Los Angeles City Councilwoman Janice Hahn won the election for California’s 36th seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, as expected. Hahn says she will push for expanded federal funding to support the clean energy industry and for job training for laid-off workers. Hours after Hahn declared victory, four residents announced their candidacy for her 15th district city council seat which she is expected to resign from on Friday. Pacifica’s Ernesto Arce has more from Los Angeles.
